07:20 Hippo licking up the blood
This corner of the Sabie River was shared by a pod of hippo, one MONSTER NILE CROCODILE, and a second crocodile that almost looks small at only 10 ft or so. It was 38 degrees by 1030 and the herbivores were making their way down to the water. The monster crocodile was positioned at the edge of the water, just inches below the surface, barely visible to my eye from above.
The crocs meant business that morning. They were actively positioning themselves for an attack and this was shot at the end of the first year of what has now become a three year drought. When the rain comes, the herbivores can drink from less precarious water sources like puddles so I imagine the crocs were bulking up for the late monsoon season.
A scene that I shot a few days prior with a sable and one crocodile was not as quick due to shallow waters. The croc couldn't take the sable under but had a strong hold of it by the hind so the struggle went on for a long time. The sable herd waited for quite a while 20 to 30 meters from me. I'll share more about that scene in an upcoming video.
This is one of my favorite spots in all of Kruger to just sit back and let the safari come to me. Even SABLE! Finding a herd of sable is a special and rare sighting in Kruger and getting an opportunity to see more of their behavior than just a fleeting glimpse through the woodland transitional areas is a golden moment! It was so interesting to see how cautious they were. Noticeably more than any other mammal that I saw here. Only a few in the herd came down to drink. Others seemed to approach cautiously, wait high on the bank, then turn away. In upcoming videos, I'll share footage of the sable as well as ele, giraffe, zebra, buffalo, baboon, impala, kudu, waterbuck, fish eagle, kingfishers, and more!

Big Croc didn't want to share but the smaller Croc was determined to get some of that Impala, and did too. Lol.
It did!
Ikr
They team up for leverage,you pull this way,I'll pull that way
@@hammersmashedspud4345 They make a great team!
Phukat me khane aa gayi
3:11 that croc sent that piece of flesh flying at like 100mph, incredible strength
0:55 hippos like “I don’t care what y’all do just don’t do it here”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thats insane how these crocs get that big and have those insane reflexes and speed when biting prey, all being unseen until the last second underwater.
They are well adapted. Thanks for commenting!
This is what a 5m+ croc looks like. Absolute unit. I will share this to bring people to this channel. 👏👏👏
Much appreciated!
I never understood why the impalas don't just use a really long straw to drink from the water.
Underrated comment 😂
Or build a bridge, if they're going to use the same migration route every year.
Even better they should just go buy water in the shop
According to one of the viewers, Albert Impalastein invented the long drinking straw but production of the straws was thwarted by the powerful crocodile union. Natural selection took over and impalas with longest necks passed along their genes and the stub-necked impala became extinct.
They are not advocate
Look at the size of that croc, wow, nature is amazing, great video sir.
He’s a beast! Thank you!
If haven't already, look up Henry the world's oldest croc lol
Although the outcome of the hunt may be predictable, observing nature always brings us memorable lessons and experiences.
Very cool video. Kruger National Park is amazing.
Yes it was!
Amazing those things can digest bones 💪🏽
Right!!
And horns on other animals!
@@diplomat2623 For sure!
It would be interesting see how large antlers are dealt with. I'd imagine the croc would discard those?
El cocodrilo más chico, estaba arriesgando su vida 😬... Impresionante video! Sigan así!
¡Gracias por ver!
Generalmente los cocodrilos más grandes llegan a tolerar a las hembras más pequeñas, como esta. Mientras no trate de arrebatarle su comida todo esta bien. Incluso el cocodrilo hembra ayuda al macho mutilado aún más el cadáver del impala y permitiendo al cocodrilo tratarlo más fácilmente.
Damn. I don't want to be born as an impala in my next life😩😩😩😩😩😩
I just don't want to be born EVER again
hahahaha
Being a myopic zebra your other choice,
I want to be reborn an apex predator, obviously. That is if I had to be born again.
Theres no next life.its either heaven or hell...
That is an absolute river monster!.. 👀🤯😱
Yes he is! Thanks for viewing!
@@acavemancandoityoutubeyou're welcome, incredible footage by the way, very envious 😅
Hippo at the end looked like he was mourning the death of his pal 😂 KEVINNNNNN, I’m gonna miss you buddy
The hippo is licking up the impala's blood near the end of the video.
@@acavemancandoityoutube That's the hippo equivalent of laying flowers
🤣🤣🤣
I know right, 😥or he was like,' I told him not to hang out so close to the edge and he never listened ".'I am gonna miss his d@#n ass'.
I thought you were joking, but you might be dead right. In one of the Gustav documentaries, they show hippos gently licking the carcass of recently fallen prey. The pod of hippos then laid around it in a circle to keep Gustav at bay. The documentary said it was a ritual of sorts. Animal behavior is interesting.
So the croc knows not to mess with Hippo
😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆
I didn't see any crocodile and hippo together.
The pod of nine hippo share this little section of the Sabie River with the crocs. Crocs and hippos co-habitat, but can get aggressive with each other. In general, an adult hippo will send a croc swimmin'.
@@acavemancandoityoutube lolol 🤣 😂 😆 😅 🤪 😜 🤣 😂 😆 😅
Albert Impaleinstein is credited with having invented the giant drinking straw which since then has saved so many impalas' lives.
But then the crocodiles realized they could just pull them by the straw 😓
Brilliant.
The impala population surged, man "reduced" the impala population, and sales of Impala jerky in the Kruger gift shops and Jo-berg airport increased. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief that the impalas were safe from the crocodiles.
Excuse me but that's SIR Albert Impaleinstein to you, El Chapo.
Gracia's very much
-Sir Mix-a- l....uhhh I mean
Sir Albert Impaleinstein
@@JohnWick-cb2xm Go sleep it
Good my friend Wonderful 🤗👍
That croc 🐊 was stingy af 😂
Maybe he was just holding it for her...nicely...while she tore off...her share? There's another edit coming with the small croc running off with the impala's stomach.
why? the smaller croc had been stealing his meal the whole video.
Croc's never mess up with hippo's,they know what they'll be dealing up with 🗿
Yup 👍🏻
Holy cow. One of biggest crocs I've seen. That impala wasn't small, and threw it about like an action figure
No Gustav bigger 8 metres long and he ate hippos. In Burundi Google him
He's HUGE! The average Nile crocodile measures around 4m in total length but they can reach up to 6m. The crocs in Kruger tend to be smaller due to less than ideal climate, but I'd guess this croc is 18-19 ft long.
Gustav is legendary. I watched great a documentary about him. This croc could arguably be the biggest croc I saw in The Kruger. Like Gustav, he has most of his teeth and they approximated his age around 60 years old. Nile crocodiles can live to 100 years or so.
Big for a Nile. Saltwater Crocodiles are even bigger.
Gustav is the biggest crocodile ever. He's an enigma. Why destroy something God created??
Wow the last bone he swallowed was insane thic. Great footage!
Yes it was! It's amazing that those large bones don't puncture the digestive tract. Thanks for watching!
Smaller croc: “ya got games on yo phone?”
😂😂🤣🤣🤣😭my data is finished.
😂😂😂
Thanks for viewing!
Good job 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice BUWAYYEAH( 🇵🇭) love the flying piece of meat.. Crocs, always have exact change! YEAH
I thought the slow-mo was a nice touch to show just how much power the croc has.
@@acavemancandoityoutube oh hell yeah. Power is unexplainable
Was that a section of his diaphragm and lower aorta tossed like that? 😳
yeah nice BUAYEAH (🇲🇾) 😂
@@yn8600 they should definitely try that on a lechon
😮impressionante a força 💪 bruta de mostro pré-histórico vivo mano 😮
Almost 2 am for me here and I'm watching these lol. (I love it) amazing footage man, I love Nile Crocodiles, my favorite animal. I wanna see more of these!.
Thank you! It makes me happy to hear how much you enjoy the video! I have another 45 minutes of footage of these two fighting over the carcass that I need to get edited.
@@acavemancandoityoutube I would love to see it when you post it, I’ll follow
@@CrocodylusNiloticus Right on!
Wow that's a huge fella there! Scary!
Massive!
Man it’s crazy how Crocs and hippos live in the same water that’s how you know hippos have respect… the crocs don’t mess with them
Fax
Yes! The relationship between the hippos and crocs fascinates me, too. I found some additional footage of the hippo in the video chasing the large croc with the carcass in it's jaws. Here's the link to the new edit: th-cam.com/video/LmnfUCNbmkU/w-d-xo.html
On a previous visit to Kruger, I watched a mother hippo kill a nile crocodile for killing its baby. I have a few images on my Instagram account @acavemancandoit It was an unbelievable scene to watch the mother kill the croc, retrieve the body of the baby hippo, perform a burial ritual, and follow the bull hippo out in procession. The male was twice the size, but watched the scene along with a dozen other crocs. You're right, the crocs don't mess with the hippos for the most part.
Here's the link to my IG to check out the images of the mother hippo killing the croc and the burial ritual. I wish I was shooting video for that scene!

@@acavemancandoityoutube i was curious if crocs kills baby hippos
When you are the Don of the river but your mouth just isn't big enough to swallow the damn impala whole 😂
Only big enough for half an impala!
Facts 💯
feel bad for impala but that’s nature ❤
It's also the circle of life
You eat animals, they have to die to eat them. Same for these animals.
I don't bercause the impala was stupid enough to drink in front of crocodiles.
@@dutyofcall7659 animals build with no common sense so call animal a stupid is like saying to your own self huney
And you’ve got animals eating crocodile eggs so yeah
Great video 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
big fella actually needs the young 🐊 help too rip apart 😂
This is what I want thanks so much
Glad you enjoyed the video, Michael! Much more to come!
Little Croc to Huge Croc: Share some of that Impala Big Willie, don't be stingy. Never mind I'll just help myself. Lol.
That was the big croc's wife.
The smaller croc performs the death roll in the next video. Crocodiles death roll to dismember their prey and break it into smaller pieces. Chunks of the prey fall off and make it easier for the crocodiles to swallow. Crocodiles do not chew their food; they swallow big chunks whole. Thanks for viewing and commenting!
That smaller croc has some serious moxie!
They make quite the team!
Acho que é uma fêmea
@@Gaviao_Real Sim, acredito que o menor seja uma fêmea. Crocodilos do Nilo machos são 30% maiores que as fêmeas.
Might be the crocs son. He's hungry too 😃
@@jamesmathu5227 Not his son, but rather it's his wife being needy again.
This video is a perfect example of why the Nile Crocodile is one of the planet's most brutal predators.
Thank you! This particular Impala was submerged in less than 60 seconds and was dead in minutes. Hyenas and African Wild Dogs will sometimes pull the limbs off their prey while they’re still alive.
@@acavemancandoityoutube Spotted Hyenas and African Wild Dogs are merciless for sure.
Luar biasa a mazing crocodile
The hippo is sniffing out where a murder scene just took place😳
The hippo licking the blood is a really curious behavior. There's video of a pod of hippo licking the body of a kudu that was taken down by a croc. The hippo then laid down encircling the body in a sort of ritual before leaving the carcass. Thanks for viewing and commenting!

Hippos casually swimming lmao
Sometimes I do not like nature but it has to be that sometimes no matter how hard it is to see stuff like this. It’s just the way things were made I reckon
Sometimes it difficult to watch. Thanks for commenting.
That is a magnificent animal right there so massive and powerful
He’s a beast!
A very magnificent one @@acavemancandoityoutube
Imagine the game changer if impalas/antelopes could craft straws. Croc' would go extinct, lmao.
Маленький кроки был очень настойчив.)
O vídeo é realmente muito bom.🇧🇷🤘
Thank you 🙏🏻
That nile is massive.... Gees... I hv to go see this boy in the holidays
He is massive! Happy holidays!
ชอบคับ
2:11
“Okay Max let’s share, just one bite”
“Nah”
“Oh come on !! I swear just one bite”
“GTFO Timmy !!”
This is why cloning dinosaurs would be a really bad idea.
Agreed.
It’s amazing that, after all this, the impala actually survived!
Lol XD
😁
Thanks for viewing!
😂😂😂
The person got such a good video from this, later on you can hear it's legs snap which was cool
Thank you! I wondered if anyone else heard the legs snap. 4:26
The snap u heard was your expulsion from civilization
I thought I would've heard more of a crackle or pop as my soul left this existence.
Frank Sinatra once said, “ I bit off more than I could chew…”😂
No assistance from Evolution required. The perfect predator👌🏾
Agreed
Seeing Crocs just devior animals the way they do just let's you know how devastating dinosaurs were in their day.
For sure!
Haha what! A crocodile is not a dinosaur
@@julesjulius187 nobody said anything about a croc being a dinosaur smh.... I said seeing them rip apart animals as savagely as they do makes you only imagine how horrible it was to be eaten by a dinasour with their sheer size, power and bite force... It would have been just gruesome to witnesses
Well said. Thanks for viewing and your comments!
@@sweetnessdabutta9985. I look at birds and have a better idea what they were like. Reptiles have stronger necks the saurapods.
They have to thrash it around they can't chew swallow it whole
Yes to rip the meat apart. It could be dog, cheetah or even a human. But no one can be cold blooded murders as they are.
@@balaviswanathanv2379 there killing to eat 😂🤫 and because a human has never been a cold hearted murderer before ? 🥴
Yes it is gruesome but that's life in the wild kill or be killed. Eat or be eaten
@@bonitaswanepoel4833 That's nature for you. Brutal though.
That's right. But that meal will be bland to the taste though; no seasoning or nothing. That croc is slipping in the catering department 😂Geez
Wtf. Why cut out the best parts?
Evolutionary perfection
Hie big is this croc? I'm thinking close to 5.2-5.4m because i estimate that smaller croc to be around 3m
I'd guess Gerald the croc is close to the size of Gustav.
I like how the bird of prey approaches the crocs food and then backs off when the crocs swings the dead animal around. It’s like 😮 better back off!
I also liked how the hippo got spooked by the vulture near the end when it’s licking up the bloody sand!
@@acavemancandoityoutube 😄I guess size doesn’t always matter.
@@derekbuxton6626 ☺
Bird of prey or bird of leftovers?
@@hilariohernandez bird of prey
Como acontece a digestão??? Sinistro kkkkk
Yikes!
Animals need that memo on "Animal Rights".
Hopefully the impala will make a full recovery although it's chances don't look good
This go I like this one🎉😂
I love how the hippo dive underwater lol
Hippos are interesting!
WOW! What is that a deinosuchus? It's huge!
It is huge!!
The hippo is like whats goin on now
My brain is playing Tame Impala watching this
00:08 the " go away " bird whistled in warning mode, but the tempation
Is simply too strong. The poor imapala must drink..
Great ear! The warning call of the go away bird is one the wild know
Could you tell me how long the crocodile took to finish his meal?
The two crocs fought over the Impala for about 30 minutes taking off a leg here and there. In the end, the large croc gobbled two-thirds of it down in a few minutes.
6:50 The Turtle or Jabuti stole the show xd
3:08 a part flies off and I think a bird goes after it.
The scavenger bird went for the piece.
That turtle said "Give me some!!!!!!"
How big would Gustave be next to this croc?
I've done a little searching to find out a bit more about Gustave and this is what I found published by National Geographic on March 16, 2009, "ADVENTURE first wrote about Gustave and Faye in our March 2005 issue (see Bobby Models's images in a photo gallery). At that point, Faye estimated that the crocodile was 60 years old, measured 20 feet, and weighed in at a whopping one ton. Also, unlike his more apocryphal monster cousins, Gustave is most definitely a real beast and a confirmed killer. Records of his attacks on villagers living on the northeastern shores of Lake Tanganyika date back to 1987. Although it is doubtful that one crocodile could be responsible for all of the deaths pinned on Gustave, eyewitness reports almost invariably describe an abnormally large croc with the same scar on the top of its head, which Faye thinks is the mark left by an old gun shot wound."
Hes eaten, so he should be safe to swim with now.. Right? 😅 Great footage!
They have room for dessert.
Thank you!
One day that little croc is gonna rule like that 😅
O my God 😮
Bagus banget videonya
terima kasih banyak!
Es la naturaleza, pero por qué vemos estas cosas 🤔
Porque es interesante ver el mundo real
Have you ever watched a television show of humans sleeping? It would be as uninteresting as Nile crocodiles sleeping.
１人で丸々食べるとは強欲です😮
Looked like the body of the impala was splashing for a few moments
I'm just happy the little one got some to eat too.
Glad I traded in my impala recently
A huge crocodile 🐊 but of this animals have survive
This crocodile is HUGE! Thanks for viewing and commenting Gloria!
U know that Impala was good when crocs fights for it
The next video will have the full scene of the crocs processing the impala. Thanks for viewing and commenting!
Hươi nai khổ nhỉ. Lúc nào cũng sông trong sợ hãi
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hippos are the strangest animals 😂
They are!
The lil one gon be aight 🦾🙏🏾💫
Claro
What a beast! 5 meter long!
He is HUGE!
Butal but informative 😱🙁
Thanks for viewing!
To be honest if Nile crocodiles are being protected they can grow to be the biggest crocodile in the world, compared to salty that is being protected.
They can get huge!
Even before protection was put in place the largest specimens caught or accurately measured have always been saltys.
Poor Impala.
I was surprised the crocodile was able to eat the Impala like that.
I was surprised, too.
Don’t worry, everyone.. all the impalas are now recovering and are expected to live long and happy lives 😊
Monster 😮
Self-confidence is not always good.
1:30.. you know them horns had to hurt going down it's belly! He pause for a sec lol
This is so cruel to watch but, we all got to understand that, even 🐊 have to eat‼️
I was a little conflicted with sharing graphic content, but this is how it happens regardless of how humans judge it.
So hard to watch like this. But this is a part of a Food cycle system of animals
For me at first. But now I am fascinated watching these videos. Sure it's painful for animals, but it's good n God's hands. I am not eating or killing them. It is out of our hands. It's nature and it can be cruel.
Baixinho osado!
Ela e uma lutadora!
